Lee, I think they priced themselves out of the market.  199 bucks, with no
power supply (that I could tell).  An advantage that it's an Intel product
(Atom processor).  They seem to be sold out, but I can get complete
computers for less, with this I'm not even sure what kind of power supply I
need.  Does it require multiple voltages, like most Intel products, which
complicate it even more so.

I don't see this as viable, unless there is a dramatic price drop.  Nice
board, maybe it will run Debian off the shelf?
